Registrationprint version

General Information

If you are a foreign visitor (i. e. you do not hold a Russian passport) and you are staying in the country for a period of  7 or more working days, the registration of your visa is obligatory and must be done within 5 working days. However, if you are staying in Russia less than 7 working days, registration is unnecessary.

Depending on where you register your visa and what kind of visa you have, the registration process might differ. The paperwork is to be done either by a hotel or a person you are visiting in Russia.

The registration application form itself has two parts. The first part is to be left with the Migration Services; the other part gets stamped, returned to the applicant and serves as a receipt. Because the above receipt has to be returned to the Migration Services within 24 hours after the departure of the visitor, in most cases the visitor keeps a copy of the receipt and the original stays with the host.

If you are moving aroung and visiting different cities (and you are staying for more than 7 working days), you are expected to perform a full registration procedure every time you change city. This means that you are expected to register (get yourself signed in) when you arrive and get yourself signed off via your registration receipt when you depart. However, for a full list of options please refer to our visiting more than one place section below.

Please note, that an attempt to leave the country without registration or without returning the registration receipt to the Migration Services is considered an offence. This can result in visitor being fined and/or blacklisted which in turn might make any future travel to Russia rather difficult. To add to the above the inviting body will also get fined.

If you have booked a hotel

If you choose to stay at a hotel your registration will be done there right on your arrival. Simply come to reception with your passport, visa and your migration card. The above registration will only cover you for the period of your stay at the hotel.

Please note: you might be charged for the registration by the hotel. 

Registration of Business Visa

If you are traveling on a Business Visa the process of your registration is similar to that of the Tourist Visa. Please see registration with us for details. However, some aspects must be looked into. 

Double and multiple entrance visas should be registered each time you are entering Russia (as every time you get a new migration card). This means that each time you will be registered (signed in) and taken off the registration (signed off) via your registration receipt after you leave the country.

Please note: if you have a hotel booked, the hotel will take care of your registration. Please, see above for details.

If you are visiting more than one place

If you are going to be visiting more than one place, you are expected to register at every town you are visiting and notify the authorities about your departure dates. If you have booked a hotel, the hotel will deal with your registration.

If you booked hotels in all different cities, you will be registered in each hotel. Registration in hotels normally is free of charge, so this means you don’t really have to think about this problem. Hostels might have an additional fee for registration. 

If you are using private accommodation, the host should take care of your registration.

If you are planning to use both hotels and private apartments while moving from place to place, every time you check into hotel we will have to sign you off prior to checking- in as your hotel will need to register you. As soon as you switch back to private accommodation, the host should take care of your registration.

We here in OSTWEST.com understand that all the above rules might be confusing and difficult to understand. Please, don’t hesitate to contact us if you require any additional information.
